15 Pound Baby

15 Pound Baby, The Year of the Dragon has blessed a Chinese family with a baby boy weighing 15.52 pounds (7kg). Baby Chun Chun was born in a hospital in Xinxiang city, Henan, to a 29 year old mother which apparently has given birth to a baby girl before but she weight a healthy 8 pounds.

According to DailyMail the baby boy’s mother stated that she felt that her pregnancy is special as she saw her baby belly growing slightly larger than with her previous pregnancy. She said that:
“I clearly felt that my body was more clumsy than when I had been pregnant with my daughter. My belly was bigger than it was then. I guessed the baby would be between 4.5 and 5kg. I never expected to hear that he weighs 7 kg (15 pounds).”

Chun Chun, who is twice the weight of a normal child could now hold the record for being the country’s heaviest babies. His father, Han Jingang, stated that he is delighted that his son was born healthy and that he is a ‘dragon’ baby. He said:
“My wife was not different from other pregnant women. She ate and drank normally as she should. But she’s given birth to such a big, fat son. Today is the first day of spring in the Chinese calendar and he’s a ‘dragon baby’. I feel very happy.”
